It is still more than a month away but July 29 will be here before you know it. So mark your calendars now and plan to bring the whole family to this event that is free and open to the public at the Henry County Fairgrounds.

Every year during late spring and early summer, I receive numerous questions about plant disease and insect damage.
These calls can be anything from brown rot on grapes to alfalfa weevil control and everything in between.
Probably eight out of 10 calls, my first question will be, “When did you start noticing this problem?” and usually the answer will be “Today!”
By looking at the plant sample, it is clear that the problem has been happening for weeks.

The Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association (KEHA) convened at the Owensboro Convention Center May 1 through 4 for their 84th annual meeting. More than 550 attendees from across the state took part in the four-day meeting that focused on “Mapping Our Future.”
The annual state meeting provides a time for celebration, recognition, learning and fun.
Attendees participated in educational seminars addressing topics ranging from food fads to photography to leadership development.
